Niang's technical

What did Niang get the technical for? On TV, they talked about the refs being more vigilant this year regarding sportsmanship. Apparently, it was something Niang said (for which he had an apology reported in this morning's paper).

So, what did he say? Who did he say it to? And what were the surrounding circumstances?

It sure hurt us when he fouled out.

If you watch after it, he tells one of the players on the bench that he said "F*** you" to the player that bumped him.

Re: Niang's technical

I wonder how many T's I would receive on any given day? I'm pretty sure I fouled out before lunchtime today.

Remember, you're unique. Just like everyone else.

Until further notice, the Big 12 tournament is best. There's an experience here. Not just the teams -- the feel, the vibe, the establishments. Iowa State not only won the pregame -- filling the nearby Power & Light District -- it won the whole damn scene.

It was the only time the phrase f*** you was heard by the refs. If Niang turns the ball over, for example, and responds by saying f***and gets t'd up, then I agree, ridiculous call. However, by directing a F*** you directly to another player of the opposite team, you're looking for some in game drama to start, and at that point a technical is well deserved.
